Are you seeing repeated pop-up windows asking you to download a file called ADSAClient31? Same here – I’ve had a number of pop-ups appear over the last couple of days?
It appears we’re not alone! The culprit seems to be Microsoft Messenger which is causing the errant download messages due to problems with some adverts.
You can cancel the download of ADSAdClient31, however the downloads appear quite often, so until Microsoft fix the problem we have a work around which helps you block the adverts from a previous blog post:

Are you the proud owner of a new iPad (3rd generation)? If so, have you experienced overheating problems?
There are reports over on the apple forums that the corner of the device gets hot (not just warm) after use and some are even reporting that the unit shuts down with a warning that “the iPad needs to cool down”.
Have you experienced these problems, or is your new iPad running cool?

I’ve just read an article over on Gizmodo discussing the imminent loss of data for previous customers of CornerHost.com
Gizmodo Article
Having helped a client before with similar problems I can understand how frustrating and worrying this can be,
If you’re one of CornerHost’s customers there are some things you can do now in preparation:
1) Backup! If you can get a copy of all of your hosted files, then getting your website up and running on another host is going to be much easier!
2) Take a note of your IP address (from a command prompt type “ping www.yourdomain.com” to find out the address of your hosting server
3) If name resolution fails, you can always add a local hosts file to poiint to your server to aid getting a backup
If you need help migrating, please contact us for assistance.
Good luck!
